Joseph F. DiPietro Elementary School, established in 1989, is a cornerstone of our neighborhood community. Currently, the school serves a vibrant student body of over 400 children from Pre-Kindergarten through grade 3. Our campus includes integrated preschool classrooms, inclusive classrooms from Kindergarten through third grade, a Foundational Learning Center, and specialized programs designed to meet the unique needs of preschool and elementary students. Our mission is to cultivate strong, collaborative partnerships between parents, guardians, and staff to foster a positive, safe, and nurturing learning environment. By meeting students at their individual levels of development, we provide tailored scaffolding and support to promote academic growth and social-emotional well-being. Our ultimate goal is to empower students with the foundational academic and social skills they need to thrive, using developmentally appropriate yet challenging approaches. The dedicated staff at DiPietro Elementary are highly qualified and passionately committed to delivering a well-rounded, rigorous education for every student. Our approach is grounded in our core values, encapsulated in the acronym PAWS: Positive attitude, Act responsibly, Work hard, and Stay safe. These values guide our decision-making processes and shape the way we interact with one another, promoting a cohesive and respectful school culture.
